Yeah so... my HD800 has the same amount of bass as my LCD2/3 but with more impact. Hmm.. Mids are fine, Audeze's just have sweeter/lusher sounding mids because they have less treble to give definition to the mids.

Are those new 800's GG or previously owned ones? I have found that ones with a good amount of burn in sweeten up nicely. I have adjusted my view of these. At first I thought them too analytical but I had only heard non-burned in pairs then I got to hear a pair with well over 500 hours on them and thought them very nice indeed.

I still don't like however the way that fine metal mesh pushes in when ones fingers contact them to put them on ones head, I suppose though one finds ways not to touch that part. Would love to try them with my set up but there is a big impedance mismatch with my amp with all the big sennheiser's.

They're brand new out of box. :P Giving it a good 150 hours before I really say anything serious about them.
